up_o in_o the_o country_n valentine_n his_o education_n and_o life_n be_v in_o court_n and_o city_n either_o of_o they_o with_o the_o best_a reason_n they_o can_v maintain_v their_o opinion_n as_o

this_o change_n whereof_o i_o mean_v be_v like_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o worldly_a change_n that_o be_v from_o the_o better_a to_o the_o worse_o for_o as_o the_o proverb_n say_v seldom_o come_v the_o

and_o therefore_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o discourse_v of_o foreign_a custom_n though_o i_o hear_v they_o be_v bad_a enough_o but_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o at_o the_o first_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o see_v englishmen_n so_o apt_a to_o leave_v their_o ancient_a good_a fashion_n and_o fall_v into_o foreign_a manner_n many_o poor_a mind_n much_o worse_o than_o our_o own_o and_o because_o our_o

somewhat_o of_o our_o own_o and_o commend_v the_o custom_n of_o other_o which_o i_o will_v do_v the_o more_o bold_o because_o you_o tell_v i_o you_o love_v plainness_n and_o therefore_o be_v content_a our_o talk_n may_v be_v free_a speech_n and_o without_o respect_n vincent_n on_o god_n name_n so_o let_v we_o proceed_v and_o as_o i_o promise_v lest_o our_o talk_n shall_v extend_v too_o far_o i_o will_v neither_o ask_v your_o opinion_n of_o all_o custom_n nor_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o man_n but_o only_o desire_v to_o be_v resolve_v of_o one_o doubt_n in_o one_o thing_n which_o touch_v i_o

from_o age_n to_o age_n and_o from_o auncester_n to_o ancestor_n a_o continual_a house_n and_o hospitality_n which_o get_v they_o great_a love_n among_o their_o neighbour_n relieve_v many_o poor_a

think_v it_o be_v of_o small_a authority_n such_o as_o it_o be_v i_o will_v tell_v you_o plain_o yet_o as_o it_o seem_v by_o your_o former_a speech_n it_o will_v descent_n with_o you_o for_o as_o you_o commend_v the_o continual_a habitation_n of_o the_o country_n so_o do_v i_o utter_o disallow_v thereof_o as_o a_o custom_n neither_o good_a for_o the_o common_a wealth_n neither_o for_o the_o

also_o to_o their_o power_n enable_v to_o travail_v country_n &_o haunt_v the_o war_n in_o which_o trade_n of_o life_n although_o touch_v their_o person_n there_o be_v great_a peril_n then_o in_o study_n at_o home_n yet_o sith_o the_o common_a weal_n may_v not_o want_v such_o man_n and_o those_o knowledge_n not_o get_v without_o peril_n i_o judge_v it_o a_o less_o evil_a to_o hazard_v man_n body_n in_o they_o though_o many_o perish_v then_o utter_o to_o want_v they_o and_o have_v our_o child_n safe_a at_o home_n every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v condemn_v to_o die_v &_o better_o it_o be_v to_o adventure_v a_o honest_a death_n then_o to_o continue_v a_o improfitable_a life_n to_o answer_v the_o rest_n of_o your_o speech_n that_o in_o war_n in_o court_n and_o city_n be_v great_a store_n of_o evil_a company_n thereto_o i_o say_v there_o be_v also_o many_o good_a therefore_o good_a counsel_n of_o friend_n &_o honest_a discretion_n of_o young_a man_n may_v learn_v they_o to_o make_v choice_n beside_o that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o know_v evil_a not_o to_o use_v it_o but_o to_o avoid_v it_o and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n thing_n be_v indifferent_a and_o not_o perfect_a beside_o virtue_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o perfection_n good_a nor_o beside_o vice_n nothing_o in_o perfection_n evil_a therefore_o though_o your_o child_n must_v needs_o know_v some_o evil_n in_o learning_n good_a yet_o be_v it_o better_o he_o know_v it_o with_o some_o hazard_n then_o want_v his_o good_a for_o fear_n of_o that_o hazard_n if_o no_o man_n will_v approach_v the_o fire_n because_o

when_o the_o good_a do_v or_o may_v surpass_v the_o bad_a no_o man_n do_v or_o at_o the_o least_o ought_v shun_v the_o adventure_n where_o good_a be_v the_o mark_n and_o the_o end_n honest_a vincent_n
